Creative Writing School

Curtis Brown Creative is the UK’s only agent-led creative writing school, launched in May 2011 as a way of reaching out to new writers, helping them to write their best and get smart about the industry.

We have always worked closely with our clients to help them develop and edit their work. The writing school lets us help writers at a much earlier stage of the process, sharing inside knowledge to help students get ahead of the slush pile - over 50 of Curtis Brown Creative students have gone on to secure book deals with major publishers since its launch.

We run three- and six-month courses in our London offices, and three- and six-month online courses with flexible hours so that writers with restrictive schedules or those in different time zones can take part from all over the world.

We’ve also run low-priced online ‘taster’ courses for people trying their hand at novel-writing for the first time and people who are not able or ready to take on the greater time and financial commitment required for our longer courses. Starting to Write Your Novel, Write to the End of Your Novel and Edit & Pitch Your Novel are designed to take you all the way through your novel, from the germ of an idea to a polished draft and pitch.
